After dressing as a widow

Chapter 323

In Gu Lin, Qin Ziwen couldn't see the desire for power or fame. If it weren't for what Gu Lin said to him that day, he would not understand why people like Gu Lin would get involved in this whole thing in the capital. Muddy water.

It was only later that he realized that Gu Lin's desires were tied to his husband.

Also tell him to let go of his heart a little bit, those who have concerns are good, only those who have concerns have weaknesses, and only things that can make him order and prohibit.

Lin Zhen's coming to the capital can be regarded as a reassurance for Qin Ziwen, telling him that he doesn't have to worry about Gu Lin leading the army to support himself.

When the weather is hot, most people wear silk and gauze, which are brightly colored and expensive.

However, Lin Zhen has always liked plain and clean colors. Today he entered the palace wearing a black robe with a round collar, a large slanted skirt, and a silk sash around his waist. His white flesh was lined like pearls and jade.

Mrs. Shi, who had no resistance to beautiful people, restrained herself a little in front of the queen, and took his hand as soon as she left the palace: "In the past few years since you left the capital, I have looked at no one well, and none of them have your good looks. Well now, you are finally back." Shan.With three ク.

"You won't leave this time, will you?"

In the past few years, Lin's firm has new products, and Lin Zhen will send a copy to Mrs. Shi in the capital. He has not forgotten that the first business he made was with Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Shi treats him well.

Hearing what Mrs. Shi said, Lin Zhen rolled his eyes, "If your lord is not transferred to other places, he will probably stay in the capital."

Mrs. Shi said: "Then you can rest assured, don't mention Mr. Gu's achievements in guarding Lizhou and leading troops to fight against Yan's army, it is that he handled the government affairs of Lizhou so well as general, everyone has clothes and food to eat, They will not continue to stay in Lizhou."

What's more, Mrs. Shi knew that Lin was really a smart person, so she didn't say it clearly.

Gu Lin has the merits of being a dragon, Qin Ziwen will not let him go outside the capital, and when Gu Lin returns from Tongzhou, he will stay in the capital almost.

It just depends on the official position and which of the six ministries he holds a position in.

Coming out of the palace, Mrs. Shi invited Lin Zhen to the house as a guest. Lin Zhen said: "I just arrived in the capital yesterday, and the house has not been settled yet. When it is finished, I should invite Madam to the house as a guest."

"Okay, then I'll wait. When I go to your house as a guest, I'll take a few jugs of good wine and let's have a good meal." Mrs. Shi patted Lin Zhen's hand, thinking of sending someone to send Lin Zhen off, Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen pointed at the courtyard opposite Shifu with his finger.

Mrs. Shi was stunned for a moment: "It turned out that I was behind in the news. I didn't expect that we would become door-to-door neighbors."

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Yesterday, when I learned that the courtyard rewarded by the emperor is here, I was also surprised. At that time, I was thinking of settling down and visiting. I didn't expect such a coincidence."

"That's very good. From now on, it's just a matter of raising your feet." Mrs. Shi felt relieved, looking at the yard opposite Shi's mansion, "Then I'll go back first and wait for your appointment."

The lady's life has been the same for ten years, and viewing flowers by appointment is a big part of it.

Lin Zhen stood at the gate of the yard, watching Mrs. Shi go in before turning back.

As the family members of the officials returned home, the news that Lin Zhen, Gu Lin's husband, had come to the capital was scattered everywhere like dandelions blown away by the wind.

In the afternoon of that day, some female relatives came to visit with things, and there were even more the next day, almost breaking the threshold.

Lin Zhen ordered that if the ones brought were not too expensive, they could be accepted, and if they were a little tricky, they would politely refuse to go back.

Left and right are not familiar with these people, so don't worry about reaching out and hitting the smiling person.

Moreover, he doesn't have that much time to deal with these rear-end affairs. Lin's business in Lizhou is operating normally, and he plans to open several workshops in Kyoto.

Speaking of which, because the weather in Lizhou is too cold and the flowers and plants are not luxuriant, the smell of flower dew is almost dominated by secluded grass. Although the smell is very good, other scents can also be developed.

So Lin Zhen hosted a banquet, and after inviting Mrs. Shi and the family members of the officials who had given gifts to his home, he took Lu Lu and the two remaining soldiers to work, looking at the location, buying land, and spreading out the place.

Lin Zhen did this several times, very quickly without any shortage of money. At the same time, after dealing with these matters, he made a lot of explosives and asked the soldiers to escort them to Tongzhou.

In a blink of an eye, a letter of residence report was sent to the capital, and good news came one after another.

From the hottest June to October when the trees withered, and finally the dust settled, the army assembled by the Yan Kingdom was out of ten, and they withdrew from the territory of Dayu, and were chased outside the capital by Gu Lin. The monarch of Yan State promised to come to court every year and increase the tribute.

After the news came back to the capital, even Lin Zhen, who was not in the palace, felt restless and joyful. Because the court deliberately released the news, the common people were almost singing and dancing, and people were discussing this matter everywhere they went. It is the two titles of General Gu and Mr. Gu, as well as the marriage with Lin Zhen that was dug out.

On October [-]th, Gu Lin's class returned to the court, and the street from the city gate to the palace was blocked, and the windows of the inns and restaurants on both sides were all booked.

With great difficulty, Lin Zhen pushed a few sergeants in ordinary clothes to the front, and the buzzing in his ears was the sound of people talking.

"Master Gu is so lucky!"

"It's only been a while, and the country of Yan can't stand it, and promised to come to court every year. Could it be that Mr. Gu has three heads and six arms?"

"Hey, you people, Mr. Gu was admitted to the first prize, did you not see him when he was parading around the street? He was handsome, but he seemed a little unreasonable."

Suddenly, a sound that almost deafened people's ears came from the front. Lin Zhen was considered tall among brothers, but his height, which was shorter than that of a man, blocked his sight.

He looked towards the end of the road with his feet on his feet, and saw Gu Lin riding the blood-sweat horse he gave him, wearing armor and a helmet on his head. The feathers on the helmet were bright and dazzling, but they couldn't take away his aura.

Long eyebrows drawn into the temples, high bridge of nose, slightly thin lips, is too fickle and ungrateful.

But Lin Zhen knew that he was not like this, especially between the beds, when he went crazy and killed people.

And behind him are the generals who went with him, some familiar faces from Lizhou, some generals who went to Pingzhou first, and behind them are sergeants wearing armor and holding bayonets and guns. The bloody smell and oppressive force caused the people watching the excitement to stop their voices.

Suddenly, when the people were silently looking at Gu Lin and other generals who drove away the Yan army and won the battle, they saw Gu Lin in the front reining in his horse and looking at the side of the street.

Not only the common people, but even the generals followed Gu Lin's gaze.

Lin Zhen knew that Gu Rin had found him. From childhood to adulthood, as long as he was in the same place with him, even in a crowd, he would be able to find him very quickly, which was terrifyingly accurate.

Lin Zhen waved his hand to greet him.

The last time we met was just over an hour when we left the state, and we met again after so many months, he felt that Gu Lin seemed to have grown a little taller, and his shoulders had become wider.

Lin Zhen pointed behind him, told him with his mouth that he was waiting for him at home, and then retreated to the back of the street.

There are too many people. If it weren't for the guards around them, they would have already squeezed to the ground. Lin Zhen, who came here to guard early in the morning, was covered in sweat. Now that he has met Gu Lin, he is not in a hurry. .

Gu Lin watched him leave, dismounted at the gate of the palace, and the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time bowed respectfully: "My lord, the emperor authorized you to bring your sword to the palace, and set up a banquet to cleanse your lord."

Gu Lin threw the reins into the hands of the sergeant behind him, and led several generals into the palace together.

The inner eunuch who sent the message raised his voice, and sent the message layer by layer: "General Gu Lin of Dingguo will come to the hall to see you."

"General Dingguo Gu Lin went to the hall to see you."

"..."

Although he holds other official positions, the highest in Gu Lin's body now is the second-rank General Dingguo, and others call him by this.

With a sound of progress, Gu Lin came to the outside of the palace where hundreds of officials discussed the government affairs. Inside the wide-open palace door, the courtiers stood one on the left and one on the right, giving way to the middle road.

Gu Lin walked through with several generals and came to the front. The heavy silver armor knocked on the ground and made a loud voice: "Minister Gu Lin, see the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Gu Aiqing has made outstanding contributions and outstanding military exploits. I must not chill the hearts of Gu Aiqing and the generals. Liu Xiu, read out the will."

"Yes," the eunuch Liu Xiu stood under the dragon chair with the imperial decree in his hand, and said in a soft but not sharp voice, "General Gu Lin of the Dingguo, North Dangche Luo King's Court, conquered thousands of miles, Xiping the bandits of the Yan Kingdom, praised my greatness Yu's prestige, outstanding feats, brilliant military exploits, bless the great Yu's peace."

"Today, Gu Lin is enfeoffed as Ding Junhou, commanding [-] frontier troops in Luozhou and Yongzhou, plus Minister of the Ministry of Officials, staying in the capital, hereby."

"My minister Gu Lin thanked the Lord for his grace, long live the emperor."

The inner prison did not stop, but continued to confer titles on the generals who went out together this time, those who should be promoted, and those who were rewarded.

But no one's glory can surpass Gu Lin, who not only has to be appointed as a military marquis, but also concurrently serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Since ancient times, the Ministry of Officials has been the most valuable of the six ministries, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials can be said to be the head of the six ministries, and the ministers of the six ministries are almost all cabinet ministers. Many officials can already predict that this court will be Gu Lin's one-spoken hall in the future, and their eyes are complicated. Looking at him in the temple.

After the imperial decree was read out, the banquet was about to begin. Gu Lin, who had just been granted the title of Marquis of the Dingjun, suddenly said to Qin Ziwen, "Your Majesty, I want to take a step ahead of you."

Qin Ziwen didn't expect that Gu Lin would not even attend the banquet, but he was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Our monarchs and ministers will have a long time to come, and this time is not missing, so Ai Qing will go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Lin cupped his hands, nodded with several generals who worked together in Tongzhou, and turned to leave.

Only the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other in blank dismay, their heads full of thoughts that Mr. Gu was too crazy.

This is a banquet hosted by the emperor, and he was rejected because he wanted to accompany a husband? !

Not to mention these officials with different thoughts, the sergeants who had not all dispersed at the gate of the palace were also surprised when they saw Gu Lin coming out, thinking that something went wrong.

The sergeant who led Gu Lin's horse clasped his fists and saluted: "General, this is..."

Gu Lin took the reins of the horse and got on the horse, "It's okay, I'm going home, I'll treat you to a drink in a few days."

"Yes, the general..." Before the sergeant finished speaking, Gu Lin disappeared on his horse.

The sergeant scratched his head, but couldn't figure out why the general wanted to go home in such a hurry, at least he had to drink some good wine in the palace before going back.
